The Agonist
Universe

A cultural, educational and community platform that grew out of an autobiographical documentary and now unfolds through projects, experiences and programmes that invite new ways of seeing difference.

01.

What is The Agonist?

The Agonist began as an autobiographical documentary about the body, relationships, pain and a decision that could change everything. From that film grew a platform of screenings, conversations, workshops and installations that invites us to reconsider how we see difference.

Every body creates its own way of moving.

What is our perspective?

Difference is part of life together. Through film and participatory experiences, we question assumptions about disability, identify barriers and explore more accessible ways of learning, working and living together.
